Highlights from #jwapedia

Today begins our last week of #jwapedia, our Twitter experiment to "tweet the Encyclopedia." So far, around 20 participants have tweeted more than 170 different Encyclopedia articles. Here are some highlights from the campaign. To see even more tweets, follow #jwapedia on Twitter

Artists/Performers:

@itsdlevy: Dorothy Fields was the only woman included in the first cohort of the Songwriters' Hall of Fame. #jwapedia http://j.mp/klsN4z

@ArchivesAmerArt: Helen Frankenthaler was praised by critic Clement Greenberg for her paintings and perhaps her sandcastles too http://cot.ag/kkvlTi #jwapedia

For those of you following the campaign, what have been your favorite tweets? Who have you discovered through this project? And what do you think about introducing an Encyclopedia article in 140 characters or less?
